Intended Use
The SteriTec Instant Readout Chemical Integrator Chailenge Pack is a steam sterilization process challenge device that meets the FDA Chemical Indicator Guidelines performance requirements for chemical integrator test packs. The Integrator Challenge Pack monitors pre-vacuum steam sterilizers operating at 132°C (270°F) or 135°C (275°F). When exposed to steam sterilization conditions the Instant Readout Chemical Integrator card gives an integrated response by changing from purple to green. The integrator card inside the test pack also meets emulator performance standards according to ISO 11140-1:2005.

No
The description focuses on a chemical indicator that changes color based on steam sterilization conditions, which is a physical/chemical process, not AI/ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies.

No
This device is a chemical integrator pack used to monitor steam sterilization processes, not to treat any medical condition in a patient.

No
The device is described as a "steam sterilization process challenge device" and a "chemical integrator" that monitors sterilizers. Its function is to verify that sterilization conditions have been met, not to diagnose a patient's medical condition. It indicates the success of a sterilization process, which is a quality control measure, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device is described as a "steam sterilization process challenge device" and a "chemical integrator test pack," which are physical objects used in sterilization processes. The description of the "integrator card" changing color further indicates a physical component. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is a "steam sterilization process challenge device" used to monitor "pre-vacuum steam sterilizers." This is a quality control device for a sterilization process, not a device used to diagnose a condition or disease in a patient using samples from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health
    • Being used in a laboratory or clinical setting for patient testing

The device's function is to assess the effectiveness of a sterilization process, which is a critical step in preventing the spread of infection, but it does not directly diagnose a patient.

§ 880.2800 Sterilization process indicator.

(a)
Biological sterilization process indicator —(1)Identification. A biological sterilization process indicator is a device intended for use by a health care provider to accompany products being sterilized through a sterilization procedure and to monitor adequacy of sterilization. The device consists of a known number of microorganisms, of known resistance to the mode of sterilization, in or on a carrier and enclosed in a protective package. Subsequent growth or failure of the microorganisms to grow under suitable conditions indicates the adequacy of sterilization.(2)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).(b)
Physical/chemical sterilization process indicator —(1)Identification. A physical/chemical sterilization process indicator is a device intended for use by a health care provider to accompany products being sterilized through a sterilization procedure and to monitor one or more parameters of the sterilization process. The adequacy of the sterilization conditions as measured by these parameters is indicated by a visible change in the device.(2)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Ms. Nelson:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adultcration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820): and if annlicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act): 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115.
